Congratulations  :good2:

Is it a runner, or is it a project?

How far did it travel to you?

Good luck, and you've come to the right place !!

This one is a project.
Hopefully for the next 12 months at the most.
But the Best Laid Plans of Mice & Men etc etc

It cost $600 + $800 frieght and came
over 3,000km's to get here.  :crazy:
I'm pretty close to the pointy bit
of the right hand corner of Australia.

Can't wait to get into it next holidays.
Just need to find some supliers in Oz
or eBay will be my friend.

Cheers thuber

As someone on another board says, "How do you explain an orgasm to a virgin?"

First, finish your bike. Then rolling-start a long straight, hit second, and roll the throttle open as quickly as your nerves will bear.

Only then, grasshopper, will you comprehend the joy of kookaloo!

P.S. Make sure your tray tables are in the upright position, and hold on tight!

First, finish your bike. Then rolling-start a long straight, hit second, and roll the throttle open as quickly as your nerves will bear..... AND KEEP IT OPEN ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE before shifting up to third... then if your nerves will bear it (and the road is straight enough)..... repeat for third gear   :good2:

Only then, grasshopper, will you comprehend the joy of kookaloo!

P.S. Make sure your tray tables are in the upright position, and hold on tight!


Fixed it for ya.....



KOokaloo!

G'day ren-dog,

Welcome to the group. I'm south of you in the Whitsundays, I still have a few FJ1100 bits & pieces lying around since I sold my FJ last year so if you're after anything specific just give me a shout. I may have what you're after.

LOL, Frank, true that!

But then we must remind grasshopper that if he winds it up in third, he'll be breaking every speed limit in the known universe!

Some laws are made to be broken......at least once (per ride?)  :yahoo:
If he lives anywhere near TeeCee they have plenty of long straight roads (with few police) on which to get their kookaloo on...... :gamer:

Thanks TeeCee
I'll sure be in contact when I figure out which bits are too broken.
Or a might just come for a drive and take them all off your hands :greeting:

As for the kookaloo -
It'll be those rather large horns on the bulls standing in the middle of the
roads around here that could quite easily turn it into a WTF moment.
Time will tell.

You'll get no argument from me on that!

But remembering back to my own first kookaloo, the last thing I was paying attention to was the speedo... until I glanced down and said, "Holy shit!"
